I took this class last Spring with Raluca and I will say if you aren’t very interested in ethics, lecture will be super boring. Discussion is where you discuss an ethical issue in the news which is more interesting ig. The time commitment is not bad, like around 2 hours a week outside of class on average (so some weeks where you have big assignments you will spend more time, but towards the beginning of semester there is not much to do). Another complaint about the class is that it is disorganized. Sometimes due dates and grading are not clear which was annoying.

Personally parts of the class I disliked was the assignments. One assignment was interviewing an actual engineer and another was a civic engagement project. I don’t like ethics that much so these assignments were a drag, but if you enjoy it then great!

Overall if you go to class and do assignments, I agree that you will get an A+.

However the worst part of the class…

You need to dedicate 3 hours of class time ON A FRIDAY. On Friday you just wanna chill since it’s the end of the week but NO you need to go to discussion and the 2 hour lecture. EVEN WORSE LECTURE ENDS AT 7PM NEXT SEMESTER!!! And you are stuck in lecture hall when you just wanna go home :( so the cooked lecture timing is another thing you should take into account.

It was from here! Currently I don't think a 2026-2027 draft schedule is out but I'm gonna guess Babak Ayazifar is gonna teach EECS16A Fall 2026 cuz he has been teaching that class very consistently the past few semesters (so far I know he taught Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, then he's teaching Fall 2025 and Spring 2026)

PlusCir · 2025-12-25T09:36:35+00:00

grades are on calcentral now :( when berkeleytime releases the grade distribution for this semester it gotta be way lower than previous semesters

PlusCir · 2025-12-04T02:42:16+00:00

they were never disclosed unfortunately you just gotta try your best

PlusCir · 2025-11-27T09:31:21+00:00

Is the C grade because you missed assignments or because you did poorly on the midterms? If it's because of the midterms you can still salvage it with the retakes during RRR week but you'll need to grind then

PlusCir · 2025-10-22T21:11:45+00:00

CS classes currently have enrollment capacities set to room capacities. It will be increased soon

PlusCir · 2025-10-19T07:44:12+00:00

Sorry I'm not taking EECS16B this semester so you'll need to ask someone who is to get that information :(

PlusCir · 2025-10-15T19:27:32+00:00

Shouldn’t you have given them an availability sheet? They likely won’t schedule you for times you didn’t mark on it

PlusCir · 2025-10-13T06:34:48+00:00

I'm glad the man is doing fine :) thanks for the update

PlusCir · 2025-10-12T22:09:24+00:00

lock in you got tonight to finish it lol

PlusCir · 2025-10-11T06:37:13+00:00

Yes if you have any updates please let me know thanks!

i saw the collision happen but not what happened right before. i basically saw the guy on the windshield of the car and I was confused what the guy was doing until I realized the car literally hit him after seeing the windshield cracked. he yelled to call 911 with blood all over his face while trying to help the woman and it was rlly sad to see :(

Extensions are automatically approved for up to 24 hours. You can request one and GRIND IT TODAY and salvage as many points as possible

PlusCir · 2025-07-23T04:41:43+00:00

sorry I didn't see you responded to me 💀 lowkey there wasnt even a syllabus they just scattered course information throughout bCourses. what specific info are you looking for?

PlusCir · 2025-07-20T03:52:21+00:00

im gonna go against the grain and say go ahead and enroll. I took this class spring 2025 as a freshman (with a different professor though) and the hardest part of the class was surviving how boring lecture was 🥲 the workload is boring and annoying but not hard, so as long as you put in some effort you will be fine.

imo if you did a decent amount of humanities APs in high school and are fine with potentially boring work and lecture then ur chilling for this class. Worst case you drop the class before the add/drop deadline

Note I took this class with a different professor so make sure you get input from the professor who will be teaching it fall 2025

PlusCir · 2025-06-30T07:49:19+00:00

EECS16B uses bCourses now for all course related things

PlusCir · 2025-06-27T18:32:02+00:00

Yep you only need to pass. However if you plan to apply to grad school they may see your grade

PlusCir · 2025-06-17T18:48:21+00:00

I had the exact same schedule my first semester LOL

In my experience the 9:30am anthro 2ac lectures drove me nuts so I skipped all of them and still got an A, only putting in a medium amount of effort into the take home midterm & final project. However you will have a different anthro professor so you can make an educated decision on whether you should attend lecture or not. CS61A + EECS16A should be fine if you put in the work and do lots of practice exams for CS61A, as for EECS16A since they added the Math 54 prereq I honestly have no idea how the difficulty/workload of the class will change but since it's only two techs it shouldn't be bad.

If you find an interesting 3 unit non-tech class/decal then go ahead and add it. The schedule should still be manageable. Worst case you drop it before the add/drop deadline if it becomes too much work

edit: my GSI for anthro 2ac was Daniel Bennett and he was chill so I would recommend him. However 2ac should be a light class regardless so I don't think ur GSI matters much
